The report looks back on another busy year for the team across our five workstreams:
Be Active, Eat Well, Healthier Weight, Substance Use and Bailiwick Social Prescribing.

School active travel supported with new bike shelters, cycling clubs, ‘walking buses’ and bike playground markings.
Continued success for individuals and families benefitting from the HENRY and Counterweight programmes.
Successfully embedding healthy eating, active travel and alcohol alternatives in the Island Games
